An Ill-Timed Quote
Many people like to focus on their ex’s flaws to make a breakup easier. It’s a great technique, especially when the ex hand-delivers a cringe-inducing moment on a silver platter. This storyteller went through a breakup and was pretty sad about it. As she was crying, her soon-to-be ex decided to get faux-deep.
He earnestly, dramatically quoted a lyric directly from that famous 2011 Goyte hit, “Somebody That I Used To Know.” Even though that song is over a decade old, the lyrics are a core memory that none of us can shake. Did he even realize he was quoting it? Regardless, he thought he was being poetic and deep, which made her feel better about the breakup.
